Coupon Borderlands 3 Season Pass Bundle for $20
I just now saw this because I received an email notification.

And according to HB, $20 = 20,30€
sigh
Also this still isn't the whole thing. These are still missing:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1232253/Borderlands_3_Neon_Cosmetic_Pack/
The last 4 are part of the Digital Deluxe Extras
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1256890/Borderlands_3_Digital_Deluxe_Extras/
but you can't get this pack separately, just as part of either the Super Deluxe Edition or the Ultimate Edition. These include the main game and either one or two season passes. And since they don't offer any kind of "Complete your set" bundle on Steam, you'll unnecessarily pay for the game and/or season passes again with these.

Hmm, autocharge was supposed to be at 10am PST on Feb 22nd, but I still haven't been charged for this month.
I don't really care if I end up missing February's monthly but idk 🤷♀️
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I didn't realize we can't pause anymore. Not that I care. I forgot to cancel the auto subscription so I have until November again anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can pause it, but you lose the store discount. If you pause it, you will get back at 10% after the first month of activity, 15% after 3 months, 17% months after 6 months and you will be back at 20% after 12 months of continuous subscription (no pauses).
HB is getting worse and worse, thanks to its IGN (Ziff Davis) owner...

$7 for new subscriber, with $5 Humble Wallet but has conditions.
"Humble Wallet credit is not available to use on Humble Choice or bundle purchases." which means you must use it in their game store, then you already placed another order to them.

First month in like 2-3 years that I've paused.
I probably would enjoy BL3, but still have the first two games mostly unplayed.
The only game I actually wanted is Calico, it looks super cute :)
Ended up being an easy pause, all things considered.

After cancelling Classic and wanting to buy few days later Choice for 1 month they cancelled my payment. After 4 replies of tickets I can't even buy regular bundle they told me I'm suspended for "...the trading or sale of games bought through Humble Bundle is a violation of our Terms of service."
Never bought second copy of bundle and 90% of last year classic were not even redeemed by me. Wasn't using vpn or buying bundles to different acount. First bundle bought 9th Aug 2011.
Looks like they are banning payment method too because for science I made a second account and can't buy there regular bundle too.
Well even my daughter says I have to many games so I think it's high time to say enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
You mention 90% weren't redeemed by you, if you were using gift links instead of keys, that's likely the reason why you got suspended.
Comment has been collapsed.
If they were revealed, they could check your linked Steam account to see that those 90% of games weren't redeemed on your account and with that they would assume you are trading or selling them. I don't think they have a way of checking if they weren't redeemed at all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Everyone is free to have multiple steam accounts. I don't think they can check by who the keys get redeemed and after all, every one who bought the keys from humble bundle is free to do whatever they want with the key, because they payed for it and can give them away or not redeem them after revealing and what not.
I'm looking forward to the day my humble monthly subscription ends (I still have 12 months paid up front) and avent bought Amy bundle in the last year. I will never spend a single cent on humble bundle again, because they have gone downhill in the past years, quality and service wise.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's true, everyone is free to have multiple Steam accounts. But certain websites restrict you to a single account and will ban you if they catch you otherwise, Steamgifts included. I too would like to be free to do what I want with the keys I buy from Humble Bundle, but as long as I'm a customer over there, it's their rules.
My only intention was to provide information to kasztoix about why was he suspended. As far as I'm aware the thing with gift links and Humble Bundle isn't an actual rule, but an unwritten rule, so it might not be obvious.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually all those replies seems like auto copy paste. eg. for starters they just reply
"There appears to be some suspicious activity associated with this account that directly violates our Terms of Service. Due to this, the order was canceled."
Later on:
"Humble Bundle purchases are for personal use only, and the trading or sale of games bought through Humble Bundle is a violation of our Terms of service. Due to these violations, future purchasing on this account has been suspended."
I really don't know, had account for 10 years for god sake. I sent maybe 5 gift links in last year or two. Only think I could think it's that I had covid lately so while staying at home made some cleaning in my hb library of shame and activated quite a lot games while they were dusting for ages. Done the same with fanatical, I had e.g bundle from which I didn't redeem a single game from late 2020

Borderlands 3 is also region locked on Epic Store or only Steam?
Comment has been collapsed.
There is no choice between Epic and Steam in this bundle.
All keys are for Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not true. Borderlands and the DLC allow to choose between Steam and Epic.
Comment has been collapsed.
Was this added recently? It wasn't there when the bundle launched as far as I remember, and I also don't see any mention in the comments about it until now.
If there was such a choice initially, I'm pretty sure I would have noted it in the OP. Did I really miss it?
Also, I claimed my keys immediately in order to check the subs, I assume I would have seen it back then?
Comment has been collapsed.
It has definitely been there at least since Feb. 18th since that is when I bought and claimed it (with the $6 / 5€ coupon) and had to make the choice.
I had looked at it on Feb. 1st but I am not quite sure if it was there already or if and when they might have changed it.
Comment has been collapsed.
It wasn't there on the 1st, you can check on wayback machine :)

I expect the mass effect game being an origins key :( EA never gives/sells steam keys anymore... and I'm pretty sure they don't make an exception for Humble. If it is a Steam key I'll buy the humble choice for sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
if this is true then one of the first bundle ill buy since ages. Finally no bad mass produced top-downs and other shitty games, and like 4 games i would play, if i exclude nebuchadnezzar i played already on steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
if this is true then one of the first bundle ill buy since ages.
Yeah, me too. Honestly, while I got this from a humble email (you're unpaused now, here's next bundle btw) I can't find anything on their website so I'm a bit suspicious myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
very solid bundle if true. desparados 3 is a great game
Comment has been collapsed.
finally a month that would be good i mean i don't care about mass effect but would love that nickelodeon game and chicken police looks cool and Evan's remains look fun
Comment has been collapsed.
It looks like a very impressive month! So naturally I already own the 3 big games (Desperados 3, ME:LE, and Man of Medan). Almost tempted to get it if ME is a Steam key, as I have that on Origin and wouldn't be averse to playing again for the cheevos.
Comment has been collapsed.
If Mass Effect is a steam key I'm totally in... but I don't believe it will be a steam key, just an origin key.. in that case I'm unsure if I'm in.. would love to have desperados 3.. but the origins key would devalue the bundle a lot.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh wow, this would be an insta-buy for me if they roll out the $6 coupon again (I don't think they will but one can only hope haha)
E: oh well, ME Legendary is origin key smh
Comment has been collapsed.
Click skip a month, they'll offer you $4 off, so you pay $8. It's not 6 but it's close.
Comment has been collapsed.
How seriously HB takes their promise of no more coupons? Cause they sent me 6$ offer for BL3. Anyone else have that?
Comment has been collapsed.
Here are the links for the games of the next bundle in the corresponding order:
Desperados III
Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
Chicken Police - Paint it RED!
Nebuchadnezzar
Police Stories
Evan's Remains
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess it's going to be 8 games from now on. Nice bundle nonetheless
Comment has been collapsed.
mass effect legendary edition + the dark pictures anthology + desperados 3 = insta buy for me

It's pretty great indeed. But it seems like the actual game list deviates from the e-mail announcement from Humble Bundle

I accidentally got a EU key for the Borderlands 3 dlc, but it activated successfully even tho I don't live in Europe. Does anyone know if I'd be able to download and play the content normally or I'd need vpn? Thanks in advance.
Comment has been collapsed.
I fact, EU Key don't only work in Europe, but in many country except America, SEA, Oceania and Saudi Arabia.
" Europe: : sub/564220, no run lock; it's an EMEA key that can be activated anywhere apart from North & South America, SEA, Oceania and Saudi Arabia "
So yes, you will be able to play it and download it as normally.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I see... So I'll be able to play it on any region except those you mentioned. Thank you for the clarification! :)

The "Paradise Lost" key can no longer be activated in Russia and Belarus.
They made an activation restriction for old keys.
This is like cheating users who bought the game.
Comment has been collapsed.
complain to humble they might give you some store credit in place
Comment has been collapsed.
here's an idea..... instead of bitching and whining about it here, take it up with humble. Then again, with current global issues, can you blame them for restricting keys to certain areas ?
IF it was bought in a bundle, you should have activated it WHEN you bought it.....
Comment has been collapsed.
It is also possible they got a new stock of keys and it changed on a earlier level - like someone make a decision not to sell to this regions. Just guessing.
Comment has been collapsed.
https://steamdb.info/sub/323360/history/ It was the dev, the sub I got from the bundle now has a Russia + Belarus restriction

IF it was bought in a bundle, you should have activated it WHEN you bought it.....
I think you're quite alone with this idea on Steamgifts, where people gift a lot of games instead of activating it WHEN buying
Comment has been collapsed.
I activate keys right aways and for dupes I create ga right away... where is the problem? Is there any bonus when I wait half a year?
Comment has been collapsed.
"Quote alone" was an overshoot, but there are quite a lot of people who make giveaways in batches, and not immediately after buying. There are no rules against it either.
Comment has been collapsed.
hence the IF , and seeing it has been done in response to the FEB BUNDLE, the assumption that it was purchased AS WITH the bundle can be allowed
IF it was from a GA, then wouldn't it make sense to be a separate topic ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Lily, seems like Paradise Lost's dev added a redemption exclusion for Russia and Belarus

quick reminder, today is the last they if you want to use your coupon for Borderlands 3 Season Pass Bundle to buy it for 20,3 euros

So they removed Borderlands 3 from Steam Store. Is it temporary?

It's Steam's weekly maintenance time, and a lot of store pages don't work. Check again in 1h or so.

Just die already still out of stock! They must be joking as this is a game they still sell in their storefront…
